QUEENSBURY – Two people were arrested Friday evening in connection to the slaying of a man who was found dead on a lawn in a quiet Queensbury neighborhood, Warren County Sheriff's Office said.

Jesse James Breault, 25, and Ashley Nicole Bell, 29, both of Glens Falls, were arrested in the death of 36-year-old Christopher J. Goss of Queensbury.

Following an investigation, police said that Goss was in the area to meet with an individual regarding a dispute that the two were having. During the confrontation, Goss was stabbed multiple times in the torso.

Breault is charged with murder and Bell is charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence, both felonies.

The man's body was found on the lawn of a 72 Meadow Lane home at about 4:30 a.m., Warren County Sheriff Bud York said. He described the neighborhood as quiet and residential.

Meadow Lane resident Hyacinth Charles-White said she heard nothing overnight, but when she woke up at 4:40 a.m. she noticed a man's body on her lawn and called 911. She was tearful on Friday afternoon as she discussed the case, saying it was upsetting to see the man's body on her lawn for 12 hours as police investigated.

"It was the most horrifying thing," Charles-White said. "He was under a sheet and his hands were sticking out. I tried not to look out."

Neighbor Colleen Genzy said the area is a safe one, with speeding cars typically her biggest worry.

In a press conference Friday afternoon at the Warren County Sheriff's Office, York said more than 40 investigators from the sheriff's office and State Police are working the case.

York said crime scene technicians were scrutinizing a Jeep parked nearby and several items found near the man's body.

"The public should not be alarmed," York said, adding he believes the incident is isolated and there is no danger to residents.
